Doce

In 'Doce,' Boogarins crafts a lyrical journey that explores themes of escapism, love, and the pursuit of a life beyond the ordinary. The song opens with the protagonist contemplating taking a 'doce' (a sweet or a drug) to enhance their experience of love and life. This act of taking a 'doce' symbolizes a desire to transcend the mundane and reach a state of heightened perception and emotion. The invitation to 'encostar no pôr do sol' (lean on the sunset) further emphasizes a longing for moments of beauty and tranquility that are often fleeting in everyday life.

The lyrics suggest a yearning to go 'além de onde os outros sempre estão' (beyond where others always are), indicating a desire to break free from societal norms and expectations. The protagonist believes that the wisdom found in books or through personal experiences ('o que li nos livros ou na mão') should not be in vain. This reflects a deeper philosophical quest for meaning and a life lived with intention and purpose. The repetition of this idea underscores the importance of personal growth and the pursuit of unique experiences.

As the song progresses, the protagonist resolves to 'viver o hoje' (live for today), whether in the company of their love or alone. This decision to embrace the present moment and forget the pain that life often brings is a powerful statement of resilience and hope. The final lines, 'vem, mas vem sem pensar em voltar / ou me deixar,' (come, but come without thinking of returning or leaving me) highlight a commitment to this journey of self-discovery and love, without the fear of abandonment or retreat. The imagery of flying without landing ('no meu voo eu vou / sem aterrizar') encapsulates the essence of the song—a continuous, unending pursuit of a life filled with passion, love, and meaning.
